Man Utd versus Brighton & Hove Albion – Premier League Match Report
Preamble
Man Utd, having just beaten Liverpool and Sunderland, aim for three Premier League wins straight in this match. The wind’s behind them managed by Ruben Amorim currently!
Only problem is, the opposing team are Brighton & Hove Albion, with victories in their previous three visits at Manchester United’s home, winning six from seven fixtures head-to-head.
Forget the momentum; Brighton have found very comfortable. Having said all that, Brighton themselves remain famously erratic similar to their opponents, therefore the fixture appears competing and maybe rollickingly good entertainment.
Kick-off is at 5.30 in the evening a final reminder for now as the clocks go back this evening, folks. Let’s go!

Squad Updates
United decided on a couple of alterations after last week’s victory away to Liverpool. Benjamin Šeško comes in instead of Mount, now on the substitutes, while last week’s win-securing hero Maguire is absent at all, Yoro steps in in defence.
An issue arose in midweek sessions. Malacia returns on the bench for the first time this season.
The Seagulls opted for a single switch post-success against over Newcastle. Seemingly a tactical shift, including De Cuyper replacing Gómez, who drops to the bench.
The striker, formerly of United champions in back in 2013, returns to Old Trafford with great momentum of four goals in three games, exceeding his tally from 15 prior games.
Pre-Match Patter
The manager pays little heed about the views of the Reds’ manager … while Welbeck is focused about the considerations by the former Chelsea manager.
Various reports suggest that this match might affect for both teams’ seasons during the league continues.
Key players to watch include Fernandes for United and the Brighton forward in blue and white, both in fine form lately.
